Uskoro počinje World Cup 2022 Qatar pa možda nije loše pogledati i novi dokumentarni film FIFA Uncovered sa 4 epizode na Netflixu.
Film se bavi likovima koji vode jednu od globalno najmoćnijih organizacija FIFA, Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini, Joao Havelange, Issa Hayatou, pranjem novca i politikom dodjeljivanja statusa zemlje domaćina...

I can only describe my situation. Unfortunately, I can't say anything about others.
I understand what you are saying, but you still didn't say the name of exchange you used, and that way you could directly warn people about them... not blame BestChange for everything.


@BestChange  have one question for you.
I made a small research comparing your two websites, main one with .com domain, and alternative option with .ru domain.
After testing multiple payment options I noticed huge difference in number of offers and in reviews each exchanges have, and I don't understand why are you doing this?
There are much more options and better offers in Russian version of website, only difference is that everything is written in Russian language.

For example, I am taking random offers for Bitcoin exchange to Skrill USD.
Picture are saying more than thousand words, but you can see that reserves are the same, but number of reviews is different and lower picture has more offers:


https://www.bestchange.com/bitcoin-to-skrill.html


https://www.bestchange.ru/bitcoin-to-skrill.html

Maybe it's best for people to use both version of website if they want to find best rates and offers.
3283  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [UPDATED] PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even in Your Own Wallets on: November 13, 2022, 10:41:01 PM
Just in: Tether freezes FTX's USDT holdings
Shitshow continues, and danger is even bigger if we know that Tether supply is mostly held on ethereum blockchain that is centralized, and it currently has 75% OFAC compliant blocks.
This means they can censor, block and freeze any address for any reason and without explanation, this is built in feature of ethereum PoS blockchain.

DAI can't be frozen, but DAI poses different risks(mostly depegs) as DAI is backed by ETH/USDC/etc. Totally up to you to weigh in the risks.
Maybe it's slightly better than other alternative in theory, but if it is still held on ethereum blockchain, and it is, than it can be censored and frozen at any time.

Solana actually has a more active blockchain in general compared to Tron despite the network downtimes. But yea, USDC is far more adopted than USDT on Solana. (source: Jupiter(Solana) and Sun.io(TRX) trading volumes)
This is probably all bots and fake transactions, and we all know this blockchain is 100% centralized so it doesn't really matter who is more active.

so there are no reliable stablecoins for keeping your reserves without risks of loss? fully backed centralized stablecoins like USDC, BUSD and USDT could be easily frozed on request from regulators and other government agencies. partly backed and algorithmic stablecoins like USDD, Neutrino USD and USDX could lose peg during bear markets.
I am really surprised how Neutrino USDN held up until now, since it is only backed up by Waves altcoin.
It's not safe to keep anything in USDN or any other stable coins right now, especially not long term... or you make wake up one day and find your money gone.


3284  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: WBTC vs BTC on: November 13, 2022, 10:29:17 PM
I never heard about sBTC before but I am not surprised with this price swings and it's likely it will go to zero soon together with Solana.
Most of the altcoins and their blockchains should never exist, they are centralized money grab schemes, and this started to be more serious when they started to print fake bitcoins.
Just take a look at Coingecko website category Tokenized Bitcoin, and you will see other worthless crap representing fake BTC, but I am sure there are more not listed here:

3285  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A quick Newbies Reminder; is Ledger(Hardware wallets) the ultimate solution? on: November 13, 2022, 10:14:28 PM
All of this will not stop, Binance is not safe, Okx is not safe, your favorite exchange is not safe, the fight is on, exchanges are exposing theirselves, it is a dangerous time, have you ever wondered why exchanges don't teach about cold wallet?
Isn't it obvious why not?
It's not in their interest to do that, unless they make a deal with hardware wallets to earn more money.
Let's not forget that Legder made partnership with both FTX and Binance, so I would never say that ledger is universal solution for anything.
Ledger is closed source, this compnay had multiple leaks of customer information, and they are promotion shitcoins all the time.
Ultimate solution is using open source hardware wallets or signing devices as Bitcoin cold storage, best if it is airgapped.

Using and leaving your assets on exchanges is the same as using a bank; aren't we all in crypto to have complete control over our money? So, what's the point of keeping it on exchanges?
Centralized exchanges are probably worse than banks, especially if they ask you for mandatory kyc verification, they get hacked more easily, they can leak private information and more.
Some people still to use them for trading Bitcoin for bigger amounts of money, but i would never use exchanges as non-custodial wallets.
3286  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [Updated] Binance intends to acquire FTX! on: November 12, 2022, 07:33:09 PM
Again: I think that's unlikely. DEXes are more complicated, and require people to install their own wallet. I've seen many estimates that put the number of Bitcoin users several times higher than the number of funded Bitcoin addresses. I assume those include people who "own" Bitcoin on centralized exchanges. If they're not even willing to install their own Bitcoin wallet, there's no way they'll install dozens of different wallets for all the shitcoins they're using to invest speculate on pump and dump schemes.
Any normal person can install simple software on their computer to run decentralized exchange, it's not like they never installed anything in their life.
Sure, Dex exchanges can be improved and made better, but benefit is that you won't have to waste time sending your private information and documents to exchange scammers like Sam.
I don't know what people think will happen with their documents now, someone said FTX was hacked and Scam Bankman escaped with his private jet to South America... gangsta style.

CZ is just as bad. All the smoke and mirrors he keeps going on about - the insurance, "fUnDs ArE sAfU" and other such bullshit, and now the completely meaningless proof of reserves. All designed to install fake confidence, meanwhile he tricks users in to using his centralized scamcoin instead of bitcoin, overcharges bitcoin withdrawal fees by orders of magnitude, and gets their malicious code in to as much software as possible to gather as much data as possible.
He is even worse, because of his Chinese connections, and his net worth including Binance exchange is much bigger.
I know he likes to act as a good guy in public and twitter, but I don't trust anything he does, and btw he wanted to buy the same FTX, so I don't believe that he was so stupid and uninformed to don't know real condition of that company  Tongue
3287  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What are the consequences after FTX bankruptcy? on: November 12, 2022, 07:21:13 PM
The empire of FTX and the companies they associate with and invest in.
OMG... list is much bigger than I thought  Shocked
There is so much shitcoin vaporware and crapware connected with FTX, and I am just waiting for the next big collapse to happen, maybe it's time for Solana to finally die, after stopping centralized blockchain numerous times.
It's not bad to see clean up and purging off some fake dex projects I see listed here, and maybe few more centralized exchanges will stop working soon.
Real danger I see is that few more stable coins are probably going to collapse and we can see bitcoin going down again as a result.
Better be ready for a bumpy ride in next few weeks and months.

3288  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance Data Shows 40% of Major Holdings Are BUSD, BNB - Bloomberg on: November 12, 2022, 07:09:35 PM
So it looks like binance is in a similar situation compared to FTX.
so  let me ask. Do you have bnb, busd, or any cryptocurrencies in your binance account?
Even if they are not on Binance exchange, and you have this shitcoins (including fake bitcoin on bsc chain) in your non-custodial wallet, you are in danger of losing your money.
If BNB token or BSC chain collapses for any reason, all on-chain transactions will stop, fake dex exchanges will stop working, and value of this coins will go down fast, probably to zero.
I would never keep larger amount of coins on Binance or any other exchange, but I also recommend converting all shitcoins to Bitcoin and withdrawing them to hardware wallet or cold wallet.
Binance is seriously connected with FTX, heck they wanted to buy them few days ago, and who knows what other dirty connections we don't know yet.
I don't think Binance will collapse soon or in few days, but there is good chance this could happen in near future, so better be safe than sorry.
3289  Other / Meta / Re: DefaultTrust changes on: November 12, 2022, 06:57:21 PM
Should there be a limit to how many DT2-users one DT1-user can create? I'm bringing this up because I noticed an increasing number of Newbies and very low ranking users on DT2.
How to reach DT2 as a new user? Just leave positive feedback for MrCryptHodl (see his Trust list), and BOOM, you're DT2!
How to get DT2 positive feedback? Just buy something from MrCryptHodl, pay upfront, and BOOM, you have positive feedback!
I agree this is incorrect use of trust system, but should opposite case also apply?
For example, you don't like someone or you are don't agree with opinions of other members, and you give them negative feedback and distrust them on your trust list.
I can give specific examples, but I think you already know about them yourself very well.
How to remove this members from DT1 membership?
3290  Other / Meta / Re: Not Your Keys Not your Coins Banner Needed Everywhere? on: November 12, 2022, 06:42:21 PM
Title says it all, with yet another disaster going on with the exchanges imploding should there be a constant banner someplace that just keeps the NYKNYC message up?
If you keep this NYKNYC banner everywhere all the time you will create countereffect, people will get used to it and won't pay much attention on real meaning.
I seriously doubt many people even understand what this saying ''not your keys, not your coins'' really means, they think if this coins are on centralized exchanges, it's still their coins.
I would say that exchanging Bitcoin for shitcoins is even worse, for example, I just heard that Tether blacklisted $31.4M USDT after FTX hack!
That being said, I am not against banner or signature campaign that promotes and educates importance of real coin keys ownership.
3291  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Will Hardware Wallet Manufacturers Leak Customer’s Email Data? on: November 12, 2022, 06:25:22 PM
After that, the experiment ends. What do you think? Will I get any spam emails, and who is the likely culprit causing it? Many email providers delete messages classified as spam that end up in spam folders after 10 or 30 days, for example, so I will try to log in to the various places to check if there is anything new there.
I am already using separate email address for each new signup I make in last few years, not just cryptocurrency related, and it makes a huge difference.
This is just email subscription so it's not so serious like when you actually purchase their devices and send them your payment with name and shipping address.
Some of them already leaked information like Ledger and Trezor partially, but I never received any phishing emails on Trezor email.
My bet is on ledger to get hacked again, if they don't collapse before like their partners FTX.
3292  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Nokia Hardware Wallet? on: November 12, 2022, 06:11:59 PM
Why didn't you tell us about this 2 weeks ago?
I saw this information earlier but I didn't have enough free time to create topic before, and I was thinking of testing it first on real phone to see how it works Smiley

If those phones have been in storage for more than 5 years high chance they are not going to be of any use.
I have a feeling everyone thought that old Nokia phones will be good for this and when I say old, like the well-known 3310 or my favorite 8810, that silver and slick slide, god how happy I was when playing with it.
This old mobile phones are much more durable than most modern smartphones, you can drop them around and nothing will be broken easily.
I remember their batteries could hold for a week, and new battery is very cheap and easy to replace, in case if old battery dies.
Some of this phones can be found in local flea markets for few bucks, and after years of not using them battery works just fine.

I like style of Nokia N97 with slide-out keyboard, and it would be cool if this could work with Bitcoin MRE.





3293  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: COLDCARD: 15% off on: November 12, 2022, 05:54:24 PM
The offer ends in less than 10 hours and for the 5% off when using bitcoin, use the code: CKBTC.
Really nice move from Coldcard with this discount, thanks to debacle of FTX exchange, and we can say that something good can always be found in bad situations.
Few other hardware wallet manufacturers are also following this trend with their own discounts, and this became like early Black Friday and Cyber Monday Smiley
Satochip is currently offering 20% discount with promo code FUFTX20, and CoolWallet have 15% discount until November 15 for their hardware wallets.
3294  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: BTCapsule is a program to easily timelock your bitcoin for inheritance on: November 12, 2022, 05:41:33 PM
If you’re tired of seeing threads about BTCapsule, please keep reading because it has been completely rebuilt.
It was rebuilt how exactly, and what was changed compared to older version of btcapsule?
I would like to see how the problem with exact time and time servers was sold, and is it still possible to fake date and time to release lock.
Maybe it's better that you release code on github or gitlab since this is now open source software.

Since BTCapsule is now open source I think member BlackHatCoiner should consider changing his feedback on your profile.
3295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and the cryptospace is threatened by this legislation backed by Sam on: November 11, 2022, 06:41:24 PM
He also caused the collapse that gave the lawmakers the reason to pass the bill into law a priority. I am beginning to be very skeptical of Sam. He might not only be another cryptobillionaire. His mother is a lawyer of Hillary Clinton and an active member of the Democratic party. I will post more information if I can find them. They are easy to find. If you can help me, share them, thank you.
I knew he had some connection with democratic party when he donated large amount of money to Joe Biden campaign, but I didn't know about this connection with his mother.
I am sure nothing bad is going to happen with him personally, except maybe he won't be public figure anymore, but anything he touched may be in danger now, including regulation of Bitcoin.
Let's bet that some politicians in US will now blame Bitcoin for this FTX circus show, and they will demand for more strict regulations.
In one of the videos I watched Sam was shaking his head and acting like a real junky  Undecided
3296  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc wallets difficult to use on: November 11, 2022, 06:14:55 PM
Can you tell one safe and secure btc wallet ?
Wich one is safe?
There is nothing difficult or hard with Bitcoin wallets, but they need to be non-custodial and open source.
Electrum is one of the best wallets for Bitcoin and it's very easy to use it, it is safe if you download it from official website and verify after that.
There are alternative options for both desktop and mobile devices, and safest option would be using hardware wallets like Trezor, Bitbox or Passport.

Please note that all exchangers in the full list have only positive reviews.
The situation described above explains why this is so.
Can you say what exchange exactly you used and left your feedback?
We already know about this issue very well, that is why some of us asked BestChange several times to change their reputation system, and they said they will, but nobody knows when exactly.
I am ok with them having neutral feedback for resolved issue, but I need to be see exactly how much neutral feedbacks specific exchange had in past, with more details about it.
3299  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance asking for KYC, again on: November 11, 2022, 05:29:30 PM
How about no, sorry, you're not getting facial recognition from me, nor am I going to send you bank statements and fill in your questionnaires since for god's sake you're not even licensed to fully operate in the EEA.
So, bye Binance!
Did you notice how they started the sentence in their email with wanting to ''protect'' users?
I don't see how sending them verification documents multiple times can protect users in any way, it just increases risk of them getting hacked, leaked and posted in public online.
It's best to unsubscribe from their emails and stop using Binance while you can, or maybe they could force you to use it in dark future when Binance have full control or trading markets.  
3300  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [Updated] Binance intends to acquire FTX! on: November 11, 2022, 12:25:25 PM
It also appears that many other trading firms/market makers have their funds stuck in the exchange:
There are more of them not listed here, even some famous sport stars are FTX shareholders, and remember they also purchased some stadiums and arenas in United States, let's see what domino falls down next Cheesy

How's the DeFi-hype doing? Is it time to rename it to CeFi yet?
Maybe rename it to DeadFi.... and I don't know how to call ''revolutionary'' NFT ''industry'' now Wink
This was not pleasant period for people who invested in various defi crap and exchange tokens like this, but in the same time it can be eye opener for many people.
